I decided to leave the city of Chiang Mai behind and spend a couple of hours relaxing on a river cruise, carried along by the cool waters of the River Ping, enjoying the ever-changing river scene with its resplendent teak houses and rural greenery.
Down river we disembarked at a local farmer's house and witnessed the cultivation of jasmine rice and a variety of herbs for use both in medicine and cookery. A snack of seasonal fresh fruits was on offering and we got to savor the refreshing taste of lemon-grass and other herb juices. For lovers of trivia, this location was featured briefly in Sylvester Stallone's 2009 movie Rambo.
